In case anyone wanted a URL to the RfD instructions which doesn't load the entirety of the page which transcludes the instructions:

I took a look at this one today. The code (delete.js -> tagPage()) is set up to read some JSON in deletionTags.json, then use that to figure out what tag to add to the top of a page. To envelop the existing page's wikicode in a tag would require doing something custom for RFD. Possible but not a quick fix.
